1 Devonport Community Live & Learn Strategy

2 Mayor s Foreword The Devonport Community Live and Learn Strategy represents a major commitment by the community to develop Devonport into a place to live and a place to learn. Learning is an enabler for vision and aspiration. It is also an enabler for reinvigoration of the way we look to grow our social and economic outlook, especially employment. This Strategy sets the foundation and direction for Devonport to become a learning community. Learning communities are an approach to describe how places respond to emerging challenges by bringing key organisations and people together to learn how to invent new responses to challenges their communities face, Wilson The Learning Communities Special Interest Group is proud to lead, inspire and motivate the community to engage in and embrace life-long learning. Through learning and working together we can build a better future for ourselves and our community. In doing so we will raise hopes and aspirations and have a positive impact on our current low retention rates, low participation rates and unemployment. I encourage all Devonport residents and sectors to embrace and pursue the many existing and emerging learning opportunities available to our community. If we work together to improve learning, we will increase the value of learning and build a culture and a community of learning to live and thrive in. Together we will live and learn. You have brains in your head, you have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You re on your own. And you know what you know. And you are the one who ll decide where to go, Dr Seuss, Oh the Places You ll Go! Alderman Steve Martin, Mayor of Devonport
